property overview

To many travelers, the Eden, which opened in 1889,is synonymous with Roman grandeur.

Set in the heart of Rome, within a few minutes walk from the Spanish Steps and the fabled Via Condotti, the Hotel Eden has a glamorous history. It was a favorite of famed director, Federico Fellini, who had his own table at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. To many modern-day travelers, too, the Eden is synonymous with Roman glitz, and turn-of-the-century grandeur is reflected in its rooms and suites. Service at this hotel is a perfect balance between attentive presence and the utmost respect for intimacy. Restaurant La Terrazza boasts a contemporary aesthetic and has panoramic views of Rome. Chef Adriano Cavagnini oversees an innovative Mediterranean menu and wine list. For an evening cocktail, the open-air Il Giardino dell’Eden provides a casual setting with breathtaking views.
